I'm a VERY beginning sewer but a willing learner. I was wondering if anybody could be so kind as to find me a tut for a pinafore- I don't care how complicated as long as it's straightforward. If it could be kind of all of a kind family http://www.chinaberry.com/11250.cfm but more everyday wearable. Sorry if it's a dumb question or in the wrong place I've been on craftster for a while but I barely ever post.

I know about mishloach manot. It's kind of unavoidable to know- thanks to yeshiva and my little Jewish neighborhood. I was just thinking- you know how people can give pretty much anything in there as long as there are two different brachot that you use on food that I would get very creative My favorite holiday, too and I love your costume idea. I'm a queen- not surprising considering i was queen esther for four years straight as a kid

Perhaps i was a bit vague. I have one anime loving/rocker friend who has adopted this holiday with me. My best friend (different person) is a techno- loving girl with great taste in everything. I think I'll give her a scrapbook, or, if I'm daring, something Grease themed! She also loves to cook. We and another friend (tennis champ, needs stress relievers) are Broadway buddies, so suggestions for that are great. Another friend is a musician, loves myspace, and hates being blonde. My elder sis is very girly, loves to bake and her bf, who I disapprove of, but I'll put my prejudice aside. My younger sis is also girly, loves disney channel, cartoons and how I survived middle school books, though she's not into reading. My cousin wants to be a disney imagineer. He loves comics, cartoons, videogames, and toys. He loves violence :O of any sort. He is extremely imaginative. My mother is totally stressed a lot of the time, needs a mini- vacation (suggestions?) loves mafalda comics, and is a total eighties girl. She loves queen and ccr just like i do. My aunt is a total sweetie, loves jewelry and clothes (and to spoil me) and my other cousins (canine) are very hard to craft for. One is an annoying, sweet princess who lives to annoy her broher and he is a big sheep who loves to chew. Her favorite things are kisses, his are tummy rubs. No ideas about my tech geek dad or uncle. My whole family adores disney

I'd ask for more suggestions on my grandparents and other aunts but I've ranted enough!
